If it's pressure they want...I'll give them pressure

I was in a MTT and noticed that one of the players at my table was also in another tournament...playing both hands at the same time. He was #1 in the one tournament at the final table and it was #2 ,#3 then #3, #2 back and forth between him and me at my table approaching and then the final table. So I brought up his other table and would time my moves so that the clock would start at the same time for him at both tables...I just figured that if he liked pressure so much, then I would help him out with a little more. Eventually he got knocked out of both tournaments.

My strongest advise is to play in only one tournament at a time.

Crapshoot your dirty... and i like it!!! hehe, either way, he made some money though!

Thanks MZZUTC...I enjoy the compliment. It was easy for me to do since he was the next player to my left so as soon as I made my play it would go right to him. On top of it all, the site that we were playing has no think tank and the clocks are soemthing like 15 seconds.

I was the one fortunate enough to kock him out at my table.

How did you finish?

5th Moleman and I just finished 4th in another one today...and am still pissed.
It was back and forth 1 and 2 between me and another player, I got knocked out when the other player put me all in with 44 against my AA...the river made it a 4 flush board that matched one of the 4's.

I am really getting sick and tired of these 4 flush boards...I lose around 98-99% of them...and when I do lose I usually have tripps, sets, 2 top pair or str8's...its never with a mediocer hand!...I'm trying to e-mail the Poker Gods about this shit now!

Aren't tripps and sets the same thing, three of a kind.

It depends who you talk to...I like the way I learned best: a set is when you have pp and you match one on the board....Tripps are when there are two on the board and you have one in your pocket.

It is the only logical way to explain them...if someone said I had tripps and both ways were considered tripps...then you don't know which way he had them....but if you only refer to tripps as one in the pocket and sets as two in the pocket, then you know exactly how he got three of a kind.

Others refer to 3 of a kind as sets or tripps interchangebly no mater how you got them...to me that is wrong...and I have even seen pro's use it this way.

If you are refering to 3 of a kind that are laid out on the board...then you should refer to them as "board tripps".

If any of that makes sence to you.

Interesting... I wonder if there's a similar name for "quads" when you make then using a pocket pair. If not then let's make one.

i often play as many as 3 tourneys at a time no problem

They tend to be on different sites though. Exploiting this is still a good strategy. One of the key things to bare in mind is that pauses may have to do with a different game. If you have a fastish internet connection then it is worth checking to see if players are multitabling before taking anything from time related reads. Poker is all about spotting weakness where ever it lies so well done crapshoot - if you tried it against me it would have no effect though.
